If you dream of a plague, it may indicate a physical issue in your life. Such dreams are often associated with ailments like itching, scabies, or other skin diseases.

Ibn Sirin
Plague — Islamic interpretation
From Imam Muhammad Ibn Seerin's Dictionary of Dreams According to Islamic Inner Traditions — entry "Plague" (page 332).
In a dream, a plague means itch, scabies, sycosis, or mange. To be inflicted with any type of such plagues in a dream means suffering from the same in wakefulness. If one sees a city struck with a plague in a dream, it means that he will witness the wrath of God Almighty befalling it. A plague in a dream also represents one's grave, religious innovation, a journey that will take a full year, or a penalty imposed by the ruler. If one sees himself in a city which is struck by a plague in a dream, it means war. (Also see Epidemic disease)
Note: Islamic dream interpretation depends on the dreamer's circumstances and state. This is a general guide drawn directly from the source book.
